Firmware update problem - XPERIA X10 General

Hello:
I have a X10i R1FA014 Xperia from vodafone Spain. I try to flash my device to German R1FA016 firmware. The update is ok, but I found a problem.
When I start the phone, it´s detect the sim (vodafone). I type the pin code and unlock the sim. But the phone does not take coverage. And in the status bar apperars the sim lock icon. With the sim of other operator (movistar) the phone don´t detect the sim. Whitout a sim card, the phone works correctly. But when I put my vodafone sim card, the phone don´t take coverage (no service message), and the phone displays the Activating message. As it don´t captures the signal coverage can not be activated. I cannot use my phone as a phone!!!
When I go back to the R1FA014 vodafone software (I made a backup copy) the phone don´t work, it show me the same message and the same problem happens. The flash is ok, when I start the phone without Sim card, I can use it, and see the firmware version.
Anyone know how can I unlock the simcard (not unlock the phone)? Anyone can help me?

Have you another sim of vodafone ?

Hello:
I tried with three vodafone sims (put the pin, but no coverage) and a movistar sim (don´t detect the sim)

has you tried re-flashing via davinciteam to vodafone fw ? and then you can use warranty

No, I haven´t tried. But what service, the flashing of the sim-unlock.
The flashing it´s good, the problem has that the phone lock my sim (vodafone)
In the service menu, sim lock submenu I have the next:
Network: 5
Network subset 5
Service provider 5
Corporate 5
Sim 0

Yes but I would try davinci flash method fw with uk generic
cheers

Are you sure that flashing with uk generic firmware I remove the simlock?

I have friends that they have vodafone x10 and with method davinci all it is ok
It is a option the you must try

But vodafone UK or vodafone Spain?

both....

And for Spain the correct version it's UK? I read Germany, not UK. This metod can solve my problem?¿

my friends spanish have uk generic

I flash the phone with davinci team, but don't wok.
Anyone idea?

Do you configure correctly APN of vodafone es ?

The apn is for the internet conection? The problem is that the phone don't detect the sim. The icon in the status area is the sim lock icon. With the vodafone rom don't detect the sim too. if no operator service, what I have set the apn? I cannot do anything if I start the phone with the sim card

you must go to:
Settings -> wireless controls -> mobile network -> APN
And create new APN
for vodafone es :
http://4ndroid.com/configuracion-3g-vodafone-para-android/
this option should work

I create the apn, then I go to menu key and save settings. But the apn it's no saved!!!
I connect to the network via wireless. I reboot the phone and put in the sim card. The phone is lock. The simcard is lock. Only works fine without a sim card.
I found this in the security option of service menu.
SEMC [Key OK][Active]
VIACCESS[Key OK][Deactive]
CMLA[Key OK][Active]
MARLIN[Key OK][Deactive]
I don't need now connect to Internet. I need that's the phone don't lock my vodafone sim!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had you talking with vodafone es asking about imei blocked or similar ?
Has this phone warranty already?

Was the x10 working originally? If you are flashing the phone to get rid of the simlock the debranding method won't work.
If you are flashing to lift a bar restriction on the phone that definitely won't work.
The imei is the phones registration number and is hard coded into the phone. If the phone is second hand the seller could have reported it as either lost or stolen to their network. The network would then have blacklisted the phone based on the imei number.

Hello:
The phone is new, I got it last Tuesday to make portability.
Could be solved if I call vodafone and ask if they have my IMEI locked phone?
The phone is new, as I said, it was not stolen. It worked perfectly until I debrand it.

Problem unlocking

Good evening,
I'm trying to sim unlock a qtek s200.
I'd allready run the Lokiwiz03, and i have the unlock code.
The problem is this: After getting the code, i've changed the sim to another operator (original one Optimus PTG, other sim Vodafone PTG), it asked the pin, so far so good, but after the pin e didn't ask me the unlock code, and went directly to today screen, and the operator signal was ok. I thought that the phone was allready unlocked. But after this, and only with the Vodafone operator, i can do everithing including receive call's except, making call's. Giving me a message from the operator saying that my number is locked. (not true because with other phones i can do the call's). With other operator (TMN) i can do call's and so on.
I started doing this with the rom in the phone ( i think the original one [bought in 2nd hand]). After this i've CID unlock the phone to upgrade to WM6, and flash it with another rom, and still the same.
Today i flash it with a qtek original rom (downloaded from Xda-Developers), and started the process from the beginning.
More of the same, no unlock code asked for, and can't make call's from Vodafone/Yorn, but can make them from other operator's.
Is there a solution for this??
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Cheers.
Forgot to say that it is a G4 model...
Thanks...
Another thing
I've seen this now, at the phone settings (with vodafone sim), in the making call's barrel, it says barried international calls except for origin country. with other sim's it says turned off...
At the operator call center, they say its everithing ok, and that maybe its a phone problem.

SIM Lock/Unlock

First of all, Hello
I have a HTC Touch HD which is locked in Vodafone (i am from Romania).
I have used the SIM Unlock program that this site provides for contributing members and i have a problem:
I have followed all the steps and i have unlocked my phone but when i put an Orange RO SIM, it cannot register in the network, even though if i try with another SIM from another carrier, it works.
My question is: is there a way to revert the phone to its locked status like it was before i used the unlocker?

[Q] Unable to find or connect to carrier after ROM install

OK, So I am not sure exactly what I did, but I was running DFT_Android ROM without any issues but wanted to try the NexusHD2-Gingerbread ROM. After flashing (successful) I wasn’t able to get on to my cellular network, wireless LAN, or even see the device through Windows (Aside from USB Mass Storage). So I decided to flash back to DFT_Android…
Well now I can search for network operators and I see mine (Bell) but I can’t connect to it. If I try to set up and APN it asks me to choose an operator, Vodafone or Vodafone Business.
What the heck is going on? Did the ROM write to my SIM?
Where do I go from here? How do I get back on my carriers network?
Here are the current software details:
HTC HD2 Telstra
Baseband: 15.42.50.09u_2.14.50.04
So I swapped out the sim card with another working sim from another account and it worked right away... So my question is... Is it possible the sim became carrier locked to another carrier? Is that possible?
If I put my original sim back in I get the same message...
Your original SIM is probably just bad. I would request a new one from Bell.

network unlocking 6p

hi, i just got my (second hand) nexus 6p and so far i like it alot.
updated to 8.1, unlocked the boot loader, installed twrp amd magist to get root all working fine.
the phone seems to be locked to vodafone (uk) as it works ok with a voda sim but when i try a ee sim or 3 uk sim it will not register on the networks and says emergency calls only. the thing thats confusing me is that it does not ask for a unlock code when i try another network sim, every other phone i had has always asked for a code to unlock it. am i missing something or is there another way to input a unlock code if / when i get it from voda or a third party unlocking provider?
cheers / thanks
You might be right but the solution is there check out this page https://support.vodafone.co.uk/Usin...one-device-if-I-m-not-a-Vodafone-customer.htm
thanks to a message from Exodusche my problem is solved. the phone is not network locked at all, when changing the sim for some reason i had to turn off the security pin then reboot the phone and as if by magic after that i had service and everything working fine. some sort of glitch in 8.1 i guess.
